Let $L$ be a cyclotomic field, and $P$ a prime ideal of $\mathcal{O}_L$. 1. is there any symbol for the equation $ax^2 + by^2 =1 \mod P$ and if so, is it computable in polynomial time? if $a$ is invertible modulo $P$ this is equivalent to $(1-by^2)/a$ is a square in $\mathcal{O}_L/P$. 2. is there any algorithm to find such $x$ and $y$ ? all such possible $(x,y)$? 3. an interesting case is: $a=b$ and $a$ is invertible modulo $P$. Update: for $P$ above $2$, (wlog) $ord_P(a) = 0$ and $ord_P(b)=1$ there is an algorithm that outputs a solution ([Algorithm 6.2][1]) [1]: https://jvoight.github.io/articles/quatalgs-051919.pdf
